Navigating pregnancy after loss

[Cruz86]

Just setting this up so we can move all pregnancy-related stuff from the TTC after miscarriage thread.

Please tag anyone else I have missed, this is as much as my brain can handle 😂

@HoneyLemon29 really positive that they have doubled, will be thinking of you tomorrow 🙏🏼🤍

Hello,
I'm posting nervously on here. Some of you may remember my name from TTC in October/November.
Anyway, I had a MMC in December 2021 and in August 2020 my daughter passed away at 2 days old. I don't have any living children.
I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant but I'm terrified. My boobs definitely hurt a lot less and this happened with my MMC. I'm pretty sure this is going to end in another loss. I'm bring scanned at 8 weeks and have a feeling it's not going to be good xxx

Good luck today @HoneyLemon29 xx

Hi @Hhdxx, sorry for your loss but congratulations on your new pregnancy. It is so hard not to worry in these early stages, I'm the same as you and just expecting bad news at my scan on Thursday. We just need to keep trying to tell ourselves that it's a different pregnancy and won't necessarily end in the same way xx

Hi ladies really struggling today. It's the day baby's heart stopped beating in my last pregnancy and I'm so emotional. Like I'm reliving It. Trying to stay positive but I'm consumed with things are going wrong again 😭 just need a hand hold xx

Oh @Skl2021, what a tough day for you 😞 Do you have any plans today to try and take your mind off things? Xx

@Cruz86 not really have to go get some shopping. Trying to stay positive it's just really hard and today is triggering me. Hoping for a different outcome 🤞 x

@Skl2021 such a difficult day for you 💔 sending hand holds & big cuddles, try to keep yourself distracted as much as possible xxx

@speake I was dreading this day tbh. Now it's here I feel like it's bringing it all back if that makes sense? Like I didn't fully grieve last time. I just hope everything is ok! Need to try and stay positive 🤞🌈 xx

@HoneyLemon29 hope the scan went okay x

@Skl2021 Hope you're managing okay. Here for a hand hold/listen if you need. X

@Skl2021 oodles and oodles of hand holds coming your way xxx it’s ok to feel how you’re feeling, it’s natural but I wish I could take it all away and leave you with nothing but positivity. You’ve got this and we’re here for you! Xx

Hi everyone, just a quick update. The scan was an awful experience with past trauma and the staff had to try calm me down it was awful 😞 they've seen a sac but they aren't allowed to confirm 100% until they see something inside. They said for 4+5 they don't expect too. Progesterone was 60+ and they said anything over 30 is good and they've taken one last blood test which I'm still waiting for results for but going on past results they aren't concerned at all. Re scan in 2 weeks. They also found a small bleed next to the sac and said it's normal to form when baby implants and won't cause a problem. When the scan lady went behind a curtain I quickly took a picture of her screen 😅😅😅 couldn't resist

@barneymcgroo thankyou so much 💕 means alot to talk to people who understand! X

@aesgriff thankyou 💕 it's horrible that miscarriage takes all the happiness away and instead your filled with anxiety. If I hadn't of had a miscarriage I would be so happy right now and excited. So trying to stay positive and hope for the best! 🤞 Easier said than done tho! X

@HoneyLemon29 Great news 🤞. And your progesterone level seem good! Glad they don't seem concerned with anything! Scans are so triggering I found my last one awful I was a mess xx

@Skl2021 sending love 💕 I can completely understand how triggering it is and upsetting. You are being super strong xxxx

@HoneyLemon29 scan looks great. All going in the right direction xxx

@Bridgey8 it's a day full of emotions 🤦 don't know whether to cry or go to bed I feel exhausted 😣 all I seem to do lately is sleep 🙈 xx

@Skl2021 it’s sooo easier said then done. It’s shit that our thoughts are always negative. Do whatever you need to do to get through today xx

@HoneyLemon29 I’m glad you’re being looked after! Xx

Ah @Skl2021 I can totally understand you feeling this way, once today is over hopefully you can start looking forward and become more excited! I’m 5+3 today since the CP which also happened on this day last month, so I’ve been feeling worried. Sending lots of love to you xx

@HoneyLemon29 Glad to hear that all seems positive! Surely if they can see something and it’s in the right place that’s pretty much 100% without them telling you? I hope it’s made you feel a bit easier although can imagine how stressed you must have been xx

@aesgriff thankyou 💕 xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 thankyou 💕 hope your doing ok too take care of yourself 💕 xx

Thank you everyone x

@Prayingformyrainbow93 I think it might be a hospital policy that they can't confirm a pregnancy 100% until they see a yolk sac and fetal pole. In my last 2 pregnancies they've seem similar but told me they look very abnormal and most likely wasn't a pregnancy sac. They didn't say anything about it looking abnormal today and said my remaining tube looks good and clear with no masses and my hormone levels are really good. I hoping and praying for a heartbeat in 2 weeks time. It seems forever 😅 x
I'm just waiting results from my 3rd blood test x

Yeah so without confirming it at least you haven’t had any of those triggers this time! It all sounds promising ♥️ Hope you’re ok lovely, 2 weeks seems like ages I get it! I’ve been trying to just totally ignore the fact that I am pregnant, I actually only told my DP yesterday cause I was so scared about a chemical again! I said I’m telling you this but forget I’ve told you! It takes all the fun and excitement away! @HoneyLemon29 xx

@Skl2021 how are you doing lovely? Been thinking of you xx

@HoneyLemon29 that's great news!! I think it all sounds like it's moving in the right direction 🙌🏻🙌🏻 xx

Hope you've had a good weekend away @aesgriff! Xx

@HoneyLemon29 that’s amazing news, it sounds like it’s all as positive as it could be at this stage! Roll on 2 weeks time for another look 🙏🏼🤍 xxx

@Cruz86 thanks I'm doing ok bit up and down trying to keep busy. My anxiety is getting higher the closer I'm getting to 12 weeks xx

So lovely to see everyone's good news on here. Just to say I'm taking myself off mumsnet for a bit; doesn't look like this pregnancy is going well, and I think I need to keep my sanity intact somehow... I wish you all lots of luck with your pregnancies and hope to join you in a few months' time. xoxo

@Skl2021 I hope the day went as ok as it could for you...xx
